To a somewhat lesser extent, I feel the same about Windows 7. It really wasn't that good, actually (particularly when compared with OSX 10.4, 10.5). At least in my living memory, Windows has always been the corporate slop OS.

@hakui I'm gunna tell you a little secret: Vista and 7 are basically identical under the hood. 7 just came with more device drivers, which helped massively on the compatibility front.

Aero was a neat feature, but the best thing about 7 that XP didn't have is that you can actually revert a previously good registry state.

Can not tell you the amount of times on XP I would BSoD by writing the wrong registry key.
